Very friendly staff that made sure to address my gluten needs. Salad was good and also ordered the potato’s gratin which was good and really large. Others in the group had steak and fish which were all good. Very loud place on Friday night and they no longer have gluten free pasta.

This is a fun place with live music that came recommended from a local. There are GF items listed on the menu. According to the very sweet gluten sensitive server, other items that weren't marked as such were GF or could be modified to be so without sauces, etc. Sadly as we discussed those options, some of my other allergies prevented me from having them. But enough about me. 🤪

When I decided on the gf pasta dish, she said it was cooked in the same water which concerned me. Ultimately I had the salmon and a baked potato. Both were plain due to my limitations but enjoyable. Everyone else loved their non GF meals and my friend LOVED her GF scallops even as a gluten tolerant diner. Clearly you must take my review as someone with limitations. Fun atmosphere for people watching and options for those not so allergic to life! 😩 Apparently it's a seasonal restaurant so plan accordingly.

Although only the steaks and some other proteins are marked GF on the menu, there are many more possibilities. Bacon wrapped dates, tuna tower without chips for apps. That night the had a sea bass special. They prepared it blackened for me and it was fantastic! Had a wedge salad, carrots, au gratin potatoes- they were incredible! Sides are large- will serve 3-4 people easily. Dessert was a salted Carmel gelato. So good, we went back the next night. The server was very responsive to my GF questions. Assured me she’d mark the ticket. Different server who brought dinner, let me know it was GF when he set it down so I felt very comfortable with the communication.

This is a Palm Desert staple but not necessarily for gluten free food. The GF options are limited basically meats (steak, chicken, etc), steamed veggies and salad. I had the roasted chicken and steamed asparagus. Even though menu is limited the food quality is above average. I very much enjoyed my meal.
